City of Bridges! We hope you really enjoy
Pittsburgh. It is a renaissance city – resilient,
vibrant entering the 21st Century with hi-tech,
healthcare and education centers of excellence.
bridges the Pittsburgh region would be a series of fragment- ed valleys, hillsides, river plains, and isolated communities. The bridges brought people together, created pathways between communities, for commerce, labor, transportation, and of course, great cuisine. Pittsburgh has 446 bridges, with its proximity to three major rivers and countless hills and ravines. The result of more than 100 years of bridge building is a collection of most of the major types of bridge (suspension, cantilever, arch, etc.), primarily built from lo- cally produced steel, including about forty river spans.
Our theme, Creating Connections, is near and dear to Coaches. As Coaches we:
• Connect with our clients, help them make connections and build bridges to achieve their goals.
• Connect with other Coaches and Affiliated Profession- al Partners to provide the best and greatest service to our clients.
• Connect to build and sustain our business, and/or to ensure impact within organizations.
• Connect and build bridges to expand the knowledge and foster the growth of the Coaching Profession.
The Conference would not be possible without the many wonderful speakers and volunteers from many of the Mid- west Chapters. Volunteers have prepared for a year and a half, and many more volunteers will donate their time on-site at the conference.
Without
Thank you Speakers and Volunteers for all of your creativ- ity, expertise, leadership and hardwork! The best thing about being a speaker and/or a volunteer are the number of newly created relationships and valuable professional connections!
Learning from the past, we enhanced the conference de- sign, expanded our marketing resources, and with MRACs support we strengthened operations by imple- menting new technologies, and by providing consistent administrative support from year to
Meredith Williams supports the Conference, MRAC and a few Midwest Chapters.
Lastly, we want to thank ICF Global for the ex- panded involvement with our Regional Conference this year. We are very appreciative of their sponsorship of our opening reception, the workshop provided by the Ignite team, and the wonderful Coach Award recognition sprinkled throughout the conference.
We love our Coach community. May you have a wonderful, safe and rewarding experience!

Personal Disruption
Whitney Johnson
Approved for 1.25 ICF Resource Development CCE Units
Pursuing a disruptive course isn’t just a nice thing to do, there’s a compelling business case: the odds of success are 6x higher and the revenue opportunity is 20x greater.
As a former award-winning equity ana- lyst on Wall Street and president and co- founder of Rose Park Advisors Disruptive
Innovation Fund with Clayton Christensen, Whitney John- son utilized the theory of disruptive innovation to invest in publicly traded stocks and private early stage companies. In her keynote, she will explain how the frameworks of disruptive innovation apply to you. If you want to be successful in unex- pected ways, Whitney will guide you down your own disrup- tive path.
These ideas are for YOU if you are:
• a high potential individual charting your career tra- jectory
• a leader trying to jumpstart innovative thinking in your company
• a self-starter ready to make a disruptive pivot in your business
These ideas are for your COMPANY if:
• revenue growth is peaking and you need to reinvent
• innovative thinking among your management team has stalled
• industry changes are making the future uncertain The fundamental unit of disruption is the individual.
The best way to drive corporate innovation is through personal disruption.
Disrupt yourself.
Allow others to do the same, and disruptive products, services, companies and countries will happen on their own. Companies don’t disrupt, people do.
Whitney’s research and work in disruptive innovation shapes how individuals and corporations manage change. She focuses on harnessing the core competencies required to building a team to leverage opportunities and unite when faced with adversity. This will be great insight whether you are coaching individuals internally, externally, or working with teams or leaders as they grapple with the disruptions in busi- ness and life and support them to powerfully move forward.
Shewrote Dare,Dream, Do:RemarkableThingsHappenWhen You Dare to Dream (2012). After publishing, Disrupt Yourself, in 2016, Whitney was recognized as one of the world’s fifty most influential management thinkers by Thinkers50 in 2017 and 2015. Through speaking, writing, coaching, and consulting, she synthe- sizes the key levers of change and how to use them effectively. Johnson is a frequent contributor for the Harvard Business Re- view, and a Linkedinfluencer.
Her new book - Build an ‘A’-Team: Play To Their Strengths and Lead Them Up the Learning Curve - will be pub- lished by Harvard Business Press in early 2018, building upon her work and research with teams and disruption. She speaks on innovation initiatives, and has delivered key- note speeches to audiences of 50,000+ on discussing dis- ruption, innovation, teamwork and organizational change.

Trust the Process: What Really Happens When We Shift From Rescuing Clients to Releasing Responsibility?
Jennie Antolak, MCC
Approved for 1 ICF Core Competency CCE Units
Most of us would deny we ever rescued a client. We faithfully recite the statement, “We believe our clients are resourceful and they have the answers inside of them.” However, when the stakes are high, we are tempted to step in and expand awareness for them. We think we are simply helping by sharing a story, providing a bit of infor- mation, or suggesting alternatives in hopes that our efforts wake people up to better outcomes or solutions. The re- ality is the opposite often happens. When we step in, we take away their opportunity to discern what is important, discover their path forward and develop self-efficacy and resiliency. This keeps them playing small in the world and limited to the information we imparted on them rather than them stumbling and learning from each experience. In addition, it greys the lines of coaching impacting our per- sonal credibility as well as the validity of the entire field.
We invite all those committed to assisting others in living out their preferred narratives. Come hear compelling sto- ries and supporting data that reinforces the value of releas- ing responsibility and allowing clients to falter and still find their way to a greater story.
Jennie Antolak believes regret should not be the last thing we feel when we exit this world. As President of Learn- ing Journeys, The International Center of Coaching, she has made a career out of ensuring that many of us do not
have to look back on life hoping we would have reflected more, taken bigger risks or lived out our purpose. Antolak does so by providing one-on-one and group coach- ing, facilitating coaching certifications, and continually developing tools and re- sources that move people towards what scares and ignites them. To support her efforts, she has her Bachelor’s Degree in Communications, a Master’s Degree in Organizational Development, Practi-
tioner, Mastery and Narrative Coaching Certifications and holds the highest level of credentialing (MCC) from the In- ternational Center of Coaching.

Bridge to Sacred Space: Coaching That Moves Mountains
Sharon Eakes, MA, BCC & Nancy Smyth, MCC Approved for 1 ICF Core Competency CCE Units
This workshop is the Magnum Opus of coaching. It is about coaching from an inside connection. It is built on what de- cades of research in psychotherapy and coaching show, namely, that the ther- apeutic alliance is the best predictor of treatment outcome. (Cabaniss, D.L. M.D. 2012) This fast-paced, highly interactive workshop will give participants a broader experiential base from which to coach.
This foundational experience will provide both the men- tal construct to understand what moves mountains and the experience of being inside the mountain that moves. Coaches will:
• experience a place inside themselves that is so deep and profound it changes the world - the sacred space that transforms connections and results;
• gain a foundation on which all coach learning rests, to give strength and advance the coaching relationship, propelling past previous limits;
• embody and learn to access at will their boundless power to be a creative, life-changing force that every client desires;
• activate and install their experience for sustained learning.
Two Wise Women
Both Nancy and Sharon are Executive and Life Coaches with expertise in relationships and resilience. They are sea- soned presenters with 30+ years of experience.

Coaching Supervision (Not That Kind of Supervision!): Developing Coaches with The Seven-Eyed Model Jeff Nally, PCC & Damian Goldvarg, MCC
Approved for 1.5 ICF Resource Development CCE Units
Coaching supervision is often mistaken for managing a coach or looking over the coach's shoulder to critique or control the coach. It's time to dispel these myths and ex- perience coaching supervision as a reflective, collabora- tive dialogue that benefits the coach, her clients, and her coaching business. This session is led by two experienced coaching supervisors who will share the distinctions be- tween coaching, mentoring, and supervision. Participants will learn the Seven-Eyed Model of coaching supervision and experience supervision during the session. Find out what professional coaches already know: coaching super- vision is a deep, reflective experience with a professional peer that reveals a higher, "super-vision" perspective to im- prove the coach and her coaching practice.

In the Mind’s Eye: The Power of An Inspiring Vision
Angela Passarelli, PhD
Approved for 1 ICF Core Competency CCE Units and .5 Resource Development CCE Units
In this presentation, we will share cutting edge neurosci- ence research that demonstrates how crafting a personal vision optimizes the brain for development and change. A cornerstone of vision-based coaching is the ability to help others connect core elements of their past to their dreams and aspirations, creating an image of an ideal future that fosters hope and openness to new possibilities. This im- age of an ideal future, along with the positive emotions it engenders, motivates and sustains individuals on a path of intentional development. Through the process of vision- ing, a living statement emerges as a tangible product of the coaching process. When the vision statement is used ‚ first and frequently, it promotes the joyful pursuit of goals leading to lasting change.
In this interactive session we will:
• Explain Intentional Change Theory (Boyatzis, 2008) with a focus on translation of theory to practice as it relates to visioning.
• Share published and emerging research on visioning in the brain
• Discuss best practices for utilizing visioning in growth and development
• Provide opportunities to practice vision-related skills
• Renew your own energy by reflecting on your personal vision
Dr. Angela Passarelli is an Assistant
Professor of Management at the College
of Charleston, SC, and an instructor in
executive education at the Weather-
head School of Management, where
she is also a Research Fellow with the
Coaching Research Lab. Her research
focuses on how developmental relation-
ships support behavior change, partic-
ularly in the context of leader develop-
ment. She draws on neuroscience and psychophysiology to explore the implicit dynamics of these relationships. Her research has been supported by the Har- nisch Foundation at the Harvard Institute of Coaching and has been published in scholarly outlets such as the Lead- ership Quarterly and the Consulting Psychology Journal.
Angela has significant experience designing and delivering leadership development programs in both corporate and educational contexts. Currently, Angela teaches courses and non-degree programs on leadership, coaching, organi- zational behavior, and experiential learning and maintains an active coaching practice. She also serves on the Scien- tific Advisory Council for the Harvard Institute of Coaching.
Angela has a PhD in Organizational Behavior from Case Western Reserve University, an MS in educational adminis- tration from Texas A&M University and a BS in psychology and general business from James Madison University. She is also a Board Certified Coach.

Expanding the Conversation Virtually: Tips and Techniques for Designing and Leading More Engaging Virtual Conversations
Jennifer Britton, PCC, BCC and CPCC Approved for 1.5 ICF Core Competency CCE Units
Increasingly coaches are being called upon to deliver coaching and other sup- port virtually. Whether it’s a team or group coaching session delivered by zoom, or a video-based on-demand program coaches are creating for marketing, there are many ways to develop and implement engaging virtual programming.
This will be an interactive session help-
ing coaches explore different parts of the virtual programming ecosystem - from group and team coaching to video-based learning and webinars. We’ll also explore best practices for designing and leading more en- gaging virtual conversations. Coaches will explore three techniques you can use to create more engaging virtual conversations and will be given a chance to map out their
own virtual session framework.
This 90-minute INTERACTIVE session will be led by Effec- tive Group Coaching and Effective Virtual Conversations author and coach Jennifer Britton, who has supported hundreds of coaches in sharpening their Group and Team Coaching skills and bringing their own programs out into the world.

In her newest book, Effective Virtual Conversations, Jenni- fer combines her last 14 years’ experience as a virtual coach and facilitator with her experience as a global Leader and Di- rector with the United Nations and the international aid sector.
For her work in developing a coaching culture within health- care Jennifer has received the Prism Award for Excellence in Coaching (2016) and an Award of Excellence- Curricu- lum Design from the Institute for Performance and Learn- ing.

5 Easy Steps to Enrolling More Coaching Clients
Krista Martin, MBA, CPCC, PCC Approved for 1 ICF Resource Development CCE Units
As coaches, we are continuously working on our own per- sonal development so that we may co-create strong part- nerships with our clients and serve them to the fullest. Best- selling author and researcher Dr Brene Brown talks about how we are wired for connection, yet how the experience of shame that we ALL have can quickly isolate us and move us into patterns of disconnection from the people around us. When we get caught up in a shame spiral, we move out of coach position and are at risk of disconnecting mo- mentarily from our clients, colleagues or loved ones. This
highly-interactive workshop focuses on heightening personal awareness around shame triggers in order to build shame- resiliency and manage reac- tions. The armor and masks we use to protect ourselves from the discomfort of vulnerability will be explored and the strategies of disconnection‚ we revert to will be discussed. Tools and strat- egies for continued personal growth beyond the classroom will be provided.
When sales and service connect, there's a powerful impact.
Unfortunately, it doesn't matter that you're a great coach if you aren't serving your ideal clients and making a meaningful im- pact with your work.
In this interactive presentation, Krista outlines a simple framework for a powerful enrollment conversation that al- lows - without being salesy - the coach to lead the person on the other end of the conversation to a powerful and con- scious place of awareness and choice.
Since spaghetti isn't a business strategy (darn it!), this framework will prove to be instrumental in your enrollment conversations and will put an end to what Krista calls, "The Coaches Curse" (knowing how powerful coaching can be but not having many clients to serve). Specifically, you'll walk away with a clear roadmap for how to lead the en- rollment conversation, a clear understanding of why each piece of the framework works, have a chance to practice each piece, and see that sales don’t have to be pushy. It can be service. This presentation will leave you inspired, ready to take action immediately, and motivated to step into the perspective of "sales is service."
Krista Martin, MBA, CPCC, PCC, is the Pres- ident & Founder of Make Your Mark. As a sought-after speaker and business coach, she teaches coaches how to attract clients, make more money, and create a bigger impact.
She's the founder of the Six Figure Im- pact Academy and takes a stand for help- ing her clients build six figure businesses. The reach, impact, and personal transfor- mation that her clients achieve through the process is what makes this level of success so important.
Spending more than 12 years in the corporate world, she has extensive business, marketing and sales experience. As a Circle of Excellence Winner, she was recognized as being in the top 6% in the country and exceeded her sales quotas 7+ years in a row. She built and sold her first "side biz" and now enjoys helping her clients build their business so it fits into their lifestyle (instead of the other way around).
Krista is the former Director of Marketing for the Georgia ICF (International Coach Federation). Her passions include supporting homeless animals and shelters with the goal of helping every pet live in a happy and healthy home.

What If Your Body Could Coach? Connecting to the Wisdom of Your Body in Coaching
Jim Smith, PCC
Approved for .5 ICF Core Competency CCE Units and .5 Resource Development CCE Units
Before humans developed our complex cognitive selves, we had bodies. Yet in today's world, as Ken Wilber observes, "the body is merely a vehicle to convey the Wise Brain from meeting to meeting." Funny, that, since Neuroscience now reminds us that our brain IS our body, and our body IS our brain. So, what if you could access ALL your forms of wis- dom: cognitive, sensory, emotional, intuitive, and even cellu- lar? What questions might your body ask, if it had a voice in your coaching?
In this workshop we will offer an immersive experience far beyond talking about your body. Participants should expect to be physically and emotionally challenged, and may find themselves out of their comfort zone of traditional learning. No slides, no experts or teachers, just an invitation to engage, pay attention, and learn how your own body can be your most powerful coaching tool.
Presentation Learning Outcomes
Participants in this session will:
• Review the brain-body connection now visible through Neuroscience and Neurobiology.
• Engage in physical movement and exercises to reveal new capacity and unobserved limitations.
• Bring attention to the way they hold their body as an instrument of coaching, their coaching presence, and the source of their coaching wisdom.
• Explore new tools for deeper work within themselves and with their clients.
• Experience the power and shift that comes from getting out of their heads when coaching.
Jim Smith, PCC, The Executive Happiness Coach®, is a global provider of executive coaching and culture trans- formation. Jim's passion is to create a Happier world and workplace, one Leader at a time.
Jim has coached leaders from twen- ty-seven countries and six continents to build greater leadership effectiveness and presence. Jim Smith, PCC, The Execu- tive Happiness Coach®, is a global pro- vider of executive coaching and culture transformation. He is a certified Body and Movement Practitioner through Mov- imiento Transformacional, based in Mex- ico.

It’s Not Personal, It’s Cultural!
Multicultural Intelligence in a Global World with Less Stress Harriet L. Russell
Approved for 1 ICF Core Competency CCE Units
Global mindset is key to success in today's world. Intercul- tural communications is a make or break skill. Overcome discomfort and stress of not understanding. Raise con- sciousness and confidence when working with multicultural clients and groups. Improve professional relationships with respect, honor, and trust. Increase your personal cultural awareness. Discover new perspectives.
Take a look at what is cross-cultural competence. We are not just what is seen externally, but what is unseen inter- nally. Explore some general cultural categories and behav- iors. Then apply these to how you, your clients and coun- terparts communicate and listen. From proper etiquette to develop more business, to the first introductions, to speak- ing English to non-native speakers, you will deepen your understanding of what makes others tick. In the coaching relationship you'll become more aware of cultural verbal and non-verbal cues, direct and indirect feedback methods, and special awareness for group coaching activities and encouraging participation.
In closing, learn Harriet's three A's model to reduce stress when interacting with people and cultures unfamiliar to you and for conflict resolution. Create Awareness and Accep- tance and see the Adjustment unfold. You will have greater effectiveness in global coaching.
This session will be engaging, content rich and interactive throughout.
For 35 years, Harriet Russell has been coaching people how to communicate more consciously and effectively with less stress. From managing Public Relations at Sony in New York City to translating for Peter Jennings and the ABC News staff at the Tokyo Economic Summit to jetting off to Minsk for the U.S. State Department to motivate entrepreneurs, Harriet under- stands it's not personal, it's cultural‚ and makes sure you do, too.
Harriet lived overseas for many years, and is fluent in sev- eral languages. Harriet was commended by the Fulbright Commission, given an award by Rotary International for creating friendly relations among peoples of the world, and founded a small English language library in Kyrgyzstan.
Harriet runs a cross-cultural coaching and training com- pany, working with organizations who want their people to work better together both internally and across borders, multicultural teams and relocating professionals.

Get an inside understanding of the Pittsburgh-originated Rooney Rule - one of the most talked-about initiatives for organizational diversity and inclusion. The Rooney Rule is a National Football League policy that requires league teams to interview minority candidates for head coaching and se- nior football operation jobs.
Jim Rooney, using his storytelling narrative style to illus- trate how his father, Dan, created the Rooney Rule using the same fundamental principals as the “Coach Approach” (based on ICF Core Competencies). The story describes how the Rooney Rule was able to thrive due to an 80-year commitment to a healthy corporate culture at his family's business, the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Join us where you will directly experience diversity coach- ing, understand the key attributes of coaching that are key to advance diversity and inclusion, and participate in a Q&A session where you can explore using it to assist your cli- ents, and/or advance this approach in your client’s organi- zation.
Jim Rooney is an organizational devel- opment professional and his wife, Steph- anie, is an ICF ACC Gestalt Certified Coach. They are co-founders of Rooney Consulting, an advisory group aimed at helping organizations improve their cul- ture through coaching and counsel.
Suzanne is an executive coach and orga-
nization development consultant focused in
the areas of leadership, diversity and inclu-
sion and team development. She is a coach, trainer, work- shop facilitator and public speaker.
Given today’s focus on diversity and inclusion, it’s all the more important that coaches get up-to- speed on this topic and know the role they
play in helping organizations succeed.
Suzanne E. Anderson, an Executive Coach with direct experience advancing diversity & inclusion, will join Jim to dis- cuss how professional coaches can use the ICF core competencies to build the capacity for implementing initiatives such as the Rooney Rule in their organizations.

GenZ and the ICF Core Competencies
Sandi Lindgren, PhD, LICSW, PCC Approved for 1 ICF Core Competency CCE Units
GenZ is the newest generation (currently aged 20 and younger) and soon to be the fastest growing generation in the workforce. Coaching youth is an emerging specialty area that is gaining in momentum and popularity due to the multiple benefits to the health, social, emotional and academic success of youth who experience coaching. A key to understanding and working effectively with GenZ, is to understand the stages and ages of adolescent develop- ment. The three stages: Early Adolescence (ages 11-14), Middle Adolescence (ages 15-18) and Late Adolescence (ages 19-25) each have their own challenges related to de- velopment and learning. Coaches who increase their un- derstanding of adolescent development are more likely to increase their ability to create meaningful connections with youth clients and move them forward with their goals. The ICF Core Competencies are based on coaching adults, adult development and adult learning. In this session we will walk through the ages and stages of adolescent de- velopment, and then explore the ICF core competencies related to coaching minor youth.
Sandi's professional mission is to support teens, young adults and professionals who serve them. She does this through individual and group coaching, supervision, mentoring, training and consultation with individuals and youth serving organizations through her company, iSup- portYOUth! LLC. Sandi is also a public speaker, trainer and curriculum writer for various youth serving organiza- tions and conferences nationwide on topics related to work- ing with youth and families.
Sandi Lindgren has a PhD in Professional
Coaching and Human Development., is a
licensed independent clinical social worker
(LICSW) and a certified professional life
coach (PCC) in Minneapolis, MN. She is
also the Clinical Director of Children Mental
Health Case Management at a mental health
clinic, P.O.R. Emotional Wellness. Her up-
coming book is titled Support YOUth: Suc-
cess Through the Latest Motivational

When Facts Don’t Change Clients’ Minds:
Proven Neuroscience-Based Strategies That Can Help Daniel Johnson, CPC, CNTC
Approved for .5 ICF Core Competency CCE Units and .5 Resource Development CCE Units
Why do clients still believe in their limiting beliefs and sto- ries? Why are observable, measurable facts accepted as truth for one person but not another? Why is it that our thoughts seem to either work for us (raise our energy) or against us (drain our energy)? And how can neuroscience research findings help us be more effective coaches when working with clients whose thoughts are keeping them from achieving their full potential? Based on the work of brain researchers including Dr. Dan Siegel, Iain McGilchrist, and Mario Martinez, we'll explore four phenomena -- Priming, Amygdala Hijack, Confirmation Bias, and Prediction Error that can hinder a client's effectiveness and limit his or her potential. We'll look at what physiologically takes place in the brain when these phenomena occur and what a coach can do (based on neuroscience research) to be effective with a client under these circumstances.
After participating in this session, you will be able to:
• Define priming, amygdala hijack, confirmation bias, and prediction error
• Use coaching strategies supported by neuroscience to help clients when these phenomena occur
• Join us in this interactive, easy-to-understand session where we explore whether neuroscience supports the axiom seeing is believing or if it's really the other way around!
Dan Johnson, CPC, CNTC is President
of Performance Mastery and a Certified Neurotransformational Coach special-
izing in executive and team coaching,
leadership development, and talent man-
agement Combining his fascination of
neuroscience, energy, and spirituality with
his expertise in performance improvement
and measurable outcomes, Dan uses neuroscience-based coaching to accelerate measurable outcomes and insight for his clients in large financial institutions, manufacturing, retail, not-for-profit, government, agriculture, and health- care industries. His client roster includes corporate presi- dents, executives, healthcare professionals, private detec- tives, actors, and spiritual leaders. Dan graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a Bachelor’s degree from Purdue University in Financial Planning and an Master’s degree from Indiana University in Instructional Systems Technology. He earned the Certified Professional Coach designation from the In- stitute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC) and completed graduate coach training in Organizational and Relationship Systems Coaching through the Center for Right Relationship. Dan is a third-year graduate of the In- dianapolis Gestalt Institute and earned the Certified Neu- rotransformational Coach designation through BeAbove Leadership. A longtime contributor to the coaching profes- sion, Dan served as President of the Indianapolis chapter of the International Coach Federation.

Coaching Across Cultures - Helping Leaders Lead Across Difference
Rita Wuebbeler, PCC
Approved for 1 ICF Core Competency CCE Units
Many leaders have more and more diverse backgrounds and/or are increasingly being asked to lead across non-tra- ditional borders - around the world and within their own organizations. As such, professional coaches need to un- derstand the main differences that these coaching clients might represent or face in terms of such key leadership issues as personal values, thinking, visioning, information gathering, decision-making, relationship-building, commu- nicating (verbally and non-verbally), information sharing, providing and receiving feedback, mentoring and devel- oping others, coaching others, resolving conflict, etc. This highly interactive, practical session will help coaches make strong connections with clients from cultural backgrounds different than their own - based on national cultures as well as differences in race, age, gender, sexual orientation, abil- ity, religion, etc. They will be more aware of the impact of culture on the coaching relationship and more able to adapt their own style and methodologies accordingly.
Rita Wuebbeler is an executive leader- ship coach with over 25 years of expe- rience helping global leaders and global teams. She believes that differences must be used as an asset to achieve business outcomes. She has lived in six countries and has worked with clients from over 40 cultures.
Rita brings expertise as a project man-
ager, global facilitator, leadership consul-
tant and diversity and inclusion facilitator. She began her corporate consulting career assisting medium-sized Ger- man companies in the US. She helped set up over 10 sub- sidiaries in the Southern U.S. Since 1990, she has been consulting with individuals, groups and teams in multiple business sectors: pharmaceuticals, technology, manufac- turing, automotive, health care, government, banking and publishing. She also facilitates diversity and inclusion work- shops for US government agencies (CIA, NSA, FBI) and corporate clients (Boeing, PepsiCo) focusing on LGBT cul- tural awareness.
In her coaching practice, Rita's work ranges from C-level executives to directors to emerging leaders. She applies the intercultural lens whenever appropriate and works with a number of behavioral style assessments to help her cli- ents achieve their desired coaching outcomes. She uses the Personal Leadership framework to help new leaders take leadership of the self and reduce reactivity during con- flict.
Rita holds a Master's degree in Applied Linguistics from Mainz University, Germany. She is a Certified Integral Coach and holds a Professional Certified Coach creden- tial from the International Coach Federation. She is a Se- nior Facilitator with Personal Leadership Seminars (www. plseminars.com), a Qualified Administrator for the Intercul- tural Development Inventory (IDI), and a certified admin- istrator of the DISC Profile.

Dreamwork Coaches; An Ancient Experience in a New Context
Will Sharon
Approved for 1 ICF Core Competency CCE Units and .5 Resource Development CCE Units
Neuroscience tells us that everybody dreams. History tells us that dreams have inspired scientific discoveries (Ein- stein, Bohr), music (McCarthy) and literature (Shelly, Ste- venson) to name a few.
Virtually all cultures prior to the modern age valued dreams as part of the human experience; it is only fairly recently that we have confined dreams to the analytic process and convinced ourselves that their meanings are clouded in mystery that can only be deciphered by experts. Coaching traditionally deals with what I call “Day School”. We work with the client’s waking experience and help them trans- form through the radical change that comes from the deep awareness they experience in the coaching process. “Night School”, the time that we are asleep, offers us an addi- tional pathway or dimension to the coaching relationship. In seeing dreams as messages from the soul or the self, we provide the client an opportunity to become aware of the fullness of their experience as a human being. The goal is to integrate what they learn in Night School to what they know from their experience in Day School and vice versa.
As coaching reclaims this experience for our clients we demonstrate how the fundamental tools of active listen- ing and asking powerful questions provide the client with the confidence to access and understand the different el- ements of dream messages. That understanding, like any transformative insight is co-created between the coach and the client. We listen to dreams with the same profound cu- riosity as we do the needs and values of our clients. By going on the journey with them into a dream we expand the intimacy and trust that is the cornerstone of the coaching relationship.
For the first 13 years of Will’s adult life he worked in psychiatric facilities, initially as a teacher in a children’s unit and then as a therapist at the VA. He holds a clinical degree from the Hunter School of Social Work.
Following a few years as an actor, bar-
tender and law school student Will taught
himself the basics of telecommunications
and bootstrapped his way into a technol-
ogy job on Wall Street. What followed was
a 30+ year international career in IT, real estate and risk management in financial services, advertising and consulting.
More recently as a coach he became interested in lever- aging the power of dreams in the coaching process. The context of coaching in seeing people as whole along with the basic tools of active listening and asking powerful ques- tions is the perfect combination for this work. Will uses Dreamwork with his clients who range from executives, art- ists and other coaches to help them understand their soul’s purpose. He also teaches a virtual course in Dreamwork three times a year.

This ses- sion provides hands-on experience and immediate rewards that will serve you forevermore. This training is relevant as many people are afraid of putting themselves out there in writing.

I have been writing a weekly newspaper column since 2001 and a weekly email newsletter since 2008 and never run out of things to say. These short writing pieces create a continuous stream of clients with no over-the-head sales gimmicks or marketing tricks. Consistency wins the race and gets the client. Knowing how to produce short pieces that serve the client serves the coach. I have the latest re- search on what words work magic and how to craft interest-
ing pieces that take no more than 20 minutes. This session is a win- win for coach and all their future clients.

Solving the Problem of Abrasive Leaders: Stop Workplace Suffering and Strengthen Organizational Health
Bonnie Artman Fox
Approved for 1.5 ICF Resource Development CCE Units
Abrasive leaders rub their coworkers the wrong way. These executives, managers, and professionals (including physi- cians and attorneys) who engage in interpersonally aggres-
sive behavior exact a high price in terms of both employee emotional distress and costs to the organization. At the same time, employers feel helpless to intervene, espe- cially when dealing with an abrasive leader whose technical expertise is of critical im- portance to the organization. Based in brain science and research in the practice of coaching abrasive leaders, this work- shop will provide insight into why bosses bully, what it takes for employers to inter-
vene with abrasive conduct and an overview of the coach- ing process for abrasive leader turnaround.
With over 25 years as a Psychiatric Nurse and Licensed Family Therapist, Bonnie Artman Fox is an expert in re- lationships, specifically in how family dynamics show up in the work place. Bonnie works with senior leaders as a cat- alyst and coach to strengthen behaviors that drive healthy work cultures, team collaboration, and results.

The Deliberately Developmental Organization (DDO)
Dr. Robert Kegan
Approved for 1 ICF Core Competency CCE Units and .5 Resource Development CCE Units
In most organizations nearly everyone is doing a second job no one is paying them for—namely, covering their weaknesses, trying to look their best, and managing other people’s impressions of them. There may be no greater con- tinuous waste of a company’s most precious resource—the time and attention of its people. The ultimate cost?: neither the organization nor its people are able to realize their full potential.
What if an organization did everything in its power to cre- ate a culture in which everyone—not just select “high po- tentials”—could overcome their own internal barriers to change, using errors and vulnerabilities as prime opportu- nities for personal and company growth?
Harvard psychologist Robert Kegan is widely recognized as one of the world’s leading authorities on adult develop- ment. He and his colleagues searched for such companies, studied them for years, and, more recently, began helping organizations within and beyond the US to start their own journeys toward remaking their cultures into 21st century incubators for unleashing human and organizational poten- tial.
In this riveting and provocative talk, Kegan will give us a full tour of these pioneering organizations, their unusual practices, and shared principles. We will have the chance to hear from those who work in a DDO, sample an assess- ment instrument that helps us see how growth-oriented our own work setting may be, and even to try on a few “growth culture” practices for ourselves! Come expecting to be both challenged and inspired!
Key Objectives or Learning Outcomes:
• Overview of the Adult Human Formation principles crit- ical to Coaching and Facilitating Change
• Recognize practices and shared principles of pioneer- ing Deliberately Developed organizations
• DDO sample assessment instrument that helps us see how growth-oriented our own work setting may be
• Try out “growth culture” practices for ourselves
Robert Kegan is a William and Miriam
Meehan Research Professor of Adult
Learning and Professional Develop-
ment at the Harvard University Graduate
School of Education. The recipient of nu-
merous honorary degrees and awards,
his forty years of research and writing on
adult development have influenced the
practice of leadership development, ex-
ecutive coaching, and change management throughout the world.
At Harvard alone, he is regularly asked to teach in exec- utive development programs in the Schools of Business, Government, Education and Medicine. His seminal books include The Evolving Self, In Over Our Heads, The Way We Talk, and Immunity to Change, which is now available to 2.2 billion readers in their native language.
